Suggest Treatment For Brown Pigmentation On Foot And Ankle

Hi. I am so bothered about brown pigments on the top of my foot and on my ankles. It appeared after my mother did some foot massage after it. I thought it was just some kind of a rash but it never fades away. I hope you can help me with my problem. The texture is smooth and i don t feel any itchiness or pain. Its just plain discoloration but i m just worried Thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have brown pigmentation on foot and ankle . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query pigmented purpuric dermatosis (schambergs disease ) or psoriatic arthritis . I suggest you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream Or mometasone furoate 0.1% cream, twice daily for a few days apply ice pack twice a day , also take vitamin C tablets for a week for quick recovery . If condition persist then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
